Abstract
With the acceleration of a new round of global scientific, technological, and industrial revolution, the next generation of information and communication technology, i.e., 6G, will inject new momentum into industry transformation and upgrading, as well as into economic innovation and development. This will subsequently promote a global industrial integration. Wireless communication will be ubiquitous in all areas of future society, supporting novel applications with various performance requirements, such as immersive-or interactive-experience applications requiring a large bandwidth, autonomous driving and vehicle-to-everything applications requiring ultrahigh reliability and ultra-low latency, and applications for industrial Internet requiring massive machine-type connectivity. Facing the challenges of the post-Moore and post-pandemic era, wireless communication needs breakthroughs in network architecture to improve the intelligence, security, robustness, bandwidth, and heterogeneity. With this background, several important tendencies have emerged in the development of 6G wireless communications
